[meta-virtualization] [PATCH] Added Yocto recipe for Puppet 4.10.9

[Pablo Saavedra]

The current version of the puppet recipe in meta-cloud-services points
to puppet 3.7.3. This one recipe assumes Ruby ​​2.2. Since Pyro, Ruby
​​2.4 is being used because Poky includes recipe a 2.4.2 Ruby version in
its Pyro branch: poky/meta/recipes-devtools/ruby​​/ruby_2.4.2.bb

The recipe for Puppet 3.7.3 in meta-cloud-services doesn't generate a
functional agent with Ruby 2.4 and Pyro. In addition, Ruby 2.0 was EOL'd
February 24th 2016 which means security patch support will end ~Feb 2017.


This recipe is based in the puppet_3.7.3.bb recipe of
meta-cloud-services. It is basically a upstream upgrade of the recipe.
During this I also made the cleanup of the already upstreamed patches.
Only remaining this one:

    puppet: add recipe for puppet 3.7.3
   
    A simple demo is added

The differences and changes respect Puppet 3 and Puppet 4 are highly
documented in the version 4 release notes [1]. By the way, this patch
submission was delayed due to unforeseen reasons. Re-thinking about
this, probably could be a better approaching prepare a recipe for
4.10.10 which also includes some additional fixes [2] for a Ruby 2.4
environment. In other hand, a more formal approaching maybe could be to
include a Puppet 5 recipe since it is the official Puppet agent version
with support for Ruby 2.4 [3]. Are you more suitable with this maybe?


**Know issues of this patch**:

As I said previously, there is a ambiguous thing using Ruby 2.4 and
Puppet 4.
The release notes for Puppet 4 clearly says:

    Ruby: We currently only test and package with 2.1.x
    versions of Ruby, therefore you should only use this
    version. Other interpreters and versions of Ruby are
    not covered by our tests.

; even when the latest bug-fixes are also fixing errors for Ruby 2.4
environments.
